Despatch Manager

A Despatch Manager is responsible for overseeing the process of sending goods out from a warehouse or distribution centre to customers or other businesses. This role involves managing a team, organising schedules, monitoring stock levels, and ensuring that all orders are packed, labelled, and sent out on time. Despatch Managers use technology to track deliveries, liaise with couriers and transport companies, and resolve any issues that might cause delays. They must have strong organisational and communication skills, as well as the ability to work under pressure and meet targets. Health and safety is also a key part of the job, making sure that staff follow correct procedures when handling goods.
